Young me: what the heck is a beheading?

Oh...

The early internet was a wild place.

[–] Norgur@fedia.io 43 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, the old internet was rotten to the core.

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

One might even say it was quite ogrish, back in the day.

[–] kspatlas@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

It's like a cafe full of cannibals!

Apologies for the rant

We really need a thrid tag. (And NSFL to be a supported tag/filter feature like nsfw)

It should have been;

  • NSFW = anything you wouldn't wan't your boss/coworker/stranger in public to see.
  • NSFM = not safe for minors; in other words, porn.
  • NSFL = gore, death, etc.

Theres no way anyone will agree to change nsfw now, so we'll have to go for something else. I propose;

  • NSFP = not safe for public. This is for things like "sexy pics", dark, potty, or sex humor (pretty much all of C&H), and that "ball vasectamy switch" post from eailer. It's a funny post, but personally I don't want a detailed 3D rendering of balls showing up while scrolling in public.

Edits to include link to the ball post I referenced, and an example community that I belive would fall under my NSFP tag (Cyanide and Happiness). https://lemm.ee/c/cyanideandhappiness Plus general spelling and grammar fixes as I find them.

Im good with NSF work/public/minors being the same, since they basically have the same limitations, but I agree with adding NSFL

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I'd prefer it that way as well (less to try and catagoize and no is it W or P gray zone to figure out), but I think nsfw has become so ubiquitous with porn that not many use it for other stuff. You either have to restablish the nsfw rules (and moderate) or create a new tag to fill in the gap.

Seems your text to speach app is shite if that's how it sounded to you :p

I'm just trollin', anyway I added a word so theres no more confusion.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Might’ve misspelled perineally

Sorry for an apparently lame riff on the classic “speak for yourself!” joke :)


I think I’m pretty satisfied with NSFW & NSFL. Might be neat if different platforms had their own NSFW settings so you could kinda rank your posts on some sort of offensiveness scale? Perhaps NSFP would be more intuitive though.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Seems so, but I don't think your spelling is any better :D

[–] MinusPi@pawb.social 53 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My single biggest disappointment with Lemmy is that they didn't fix the glaring NSFW/NSFL issue.

[–] Lightfire228@pawb.social 46 points 10 months ago (2 children)

NSFL (Not Safe For Life) typically means stuff like gruesome injuries, blood and gore, or possibly fatalities

Which is different from NSFW, because sometimes you want to hear a dirty joke, bit you could do without seeing the aftermath of a Meat Crayon

[–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So the issue is that there is only NSFW label and no NSFL label?

OK, now I know. But I mean, it's just not there yet: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/317. Everyone would have to wait for it.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Tags/Flair isn't Nsfw/Nsfl. Tags could be tedious yes, but a seperate checkmark or a seperate toggle for simply NSFL should have been made from the get go.

[–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, that can't be changed now. People discuss NSFL in there, but I don't know what will be the rustler of it. Maybe it will be NSFW + NSFL tag. You can always create a new issue demanding NSFL to be treated as a special tag.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Its not a tag. It's an option. You can even filter out all nsfw posts already.

[–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

That's my point. It still feels like a tag anyway, but a very special one. Option feels not very specific, so I used "special tag".

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I thought NSFL stood for not safe for lunch.

[–] Fleur__@lemmy.world 39 points 10 months ago

I feel like I click less of these now that I'm over 18

[–] CaptainEffort@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure my first experience was at 9. Jailbroke my iPhone and saw some porn ad in a program I installed. Didn’t know what the hell I was looking at, but it sure as hell changed things

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 4 points 10 months ago

For me it was looking up cheats for GTA and other games online and seeing porn ads all over the site.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 10 months ago

I'm so glad that I knew better than that when I started using the internet. Probably saved me from a lot of porn and gore.

Something, that sounds like corn. Edit: well, what a corny joke. Ok, I'll stop.
